So This Past Weekend I FINALLY Got To See Deadpool & Wolverine With My Good Friend Connor.
I Was Nervous Going Into This Because A Non Spoiler Review Suggested That This Would Just Be Like Spider-Man No Way Home With It Being All Fan Service & No Logic Are Meaningful Story.
While This Story Is VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD, I Can Happily Say That I Still THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS MOVIE!
This May Be My Favorite Deadpool Film Of The Tree. Logan I Think Is Still The Strongest Of The X-Men & Overall Marvel Fox Franchise Films, But This Was Still Highly Enjoyable.
This Is Essentially What We Were Hoping From Doctor Strange 2, And Delivers Plenty Of Cameos, Action, Gore, & F-Bombs. There Are A Few Missed Opportunities For Jokes Here & There, But That's Probably Because They Couldn't Make It Work With The Pacing & Due To The Strike At The Time, Ryan Reynolds Wasn't Allowed To Do Any Improv.
However, Ryan Reynolds & Hugh Jackman Are Still ABSOLUTELY MAGNETIC Here. Plenty Of Laughs, Gasps, Heartwarming Moments, Just So Much They Deliver. This Doesn't Mess With The Story Of Logan Like How Some Were Worrying.... But Man Do They Do...... Some Things.
Now......... One Of The BIGGEST CAMEOS WS SPOILED FOR ME TWICE IN ONE DAY, The Second Time With Connor. To Those Who Spoiled That For Us Both........ BOOOOOOOOOOO YOOOUUUUUUU!!!!
The Action Is Fantastic, The Meta Commentary Is Perfectly On Point, Some Of The References Go Even Deeper Than We Realize. The More Fox Marvel Films You've Seen, The Better Off You Are Here. Also Just Quickly Refresh Yourself On Some Iconic X-Men & Deadpool Comics For Some Fun References. It's Like Gong Into ENDGAME When You've Seen Everything Before In The MCU.
The Villain Isn't The Most Interesting, But The Acting Is Fine. The Final Battle Is Fun & Silly, The Overall Plot Again Isn't Anything Mind-blowing. It Works Here For Deadpool Given His Style. I Also Wish They Hadn't Spoiled One Cameo For Us In The Final Trailer.
Is It The Movie Of The Year..... I'd Still Say LongLegs Was Better. But Does This Film Live Up To The "LFG" HYPE Built Up, I'd Say So. Interestingly Enough, I Thought I Was Spoiled On Another Cameo, But That Was Either A False Leak, Or Removed In Reshoots Due To Some...... Controversial Material That Came Out In A Recent Project.
Music Is A Hoot, The Angry Bromance Is Perfect, And I'd Say This Film Deserves To Be The Highest Grossing R- Rated Film Of The Year.
Only Wish It Could Have Set Up More For What's To Come, Although After That Announcement At ComicCon.... I'm Not Sure I'm Psyched For Avengers Anymore.
B+ Film.
9.4 On The Entertainment Level
A MUST SEE, ESPECIALLY FOR DEADPOOL FANS!!!
